Have we all seen WR D.K Metcalf?

We could use a tall WR who can actually catch the ball. That would have to be priority number 1, being that we struck out so hard on Funchess and Benjamin. 

I'm confused about the picture, is he the one on the left? If so he seems a bit bulky to be playing WR efficiently.

"Iowa State’s Hakeem Butler is not only the tallest wide receiver at this year’s combine (6-5 3/8), but his hands are also a freakish 10 34 — the same size as the largest hands in the NBA. The combination of Butler’s hand zone and his impressive 35 2/8 arms give him an incredible 83 7/8 wingspan; which mean he has the arms of a person who is 7 feet tall. "

Yes he is the big one on the left. Guy has been pretty good at ole miss.

Dude is a freak but so dam raw

They say his route tree is pretty limited

He missed most of last year with with a neck injury which he has since been cleared.

 

Doubt he makes it to 16.

Plus, our only DEs signed for next year are Addison, Obada, and Marquise Haynes.  And your solid starting DEs are going to be going for 14-15 on the market which we just cant afford.

 

 

Metcalf really reminds me of this guy though

Same size, projected speed, and about the same point coming out as far as route runners

One problem, football isn't bodybuilding.

The guy caught 26 passes for 569 yards in an offense that threw the ball 440 times for nearly 4200 yards.

This guy is the prototypical bust. Mediocre college production, but unreal physical talent and absolutely looks the part

Remember when David Boston swole up to such an absurd size and was out of the league shortly thereafter?

Yep. You don't need to carry a ton of muscle mass to play WR. Those knees don't know the difference between fat weight and muscle weight. Either way, they're carrying extra weight. How many great WRs have been built like bodybuilders? Jerry Rice is the GOAT and the guy was built like a bean pole while playing in a league that allowed DBs to be much more physical against WRs than today's NFL.

    • He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.
    • Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings. 
    • Because he won't be here next year, we aren't winning this year and we need to see if Renfrow or Horn can be that guy going forward. If Bryce isn't good enough to do poo without AT we need to find that out this year as well. I'm fine keeping him but his role needs to be slowly reduced throughout the year anyway so we know what we have for the future
